Case Study - U.S. Campaign for Burma


The U.S. Campaign for Burma is one of many global web based organizations dedicated to alerting people of the current crisis in Burma between the monks and the military. Their main goal is to post recent news about the inhumane acts the military is committing in Myanmar in the hope that activists living around the world will be inspired to retaliate against the Burmese Government to bring an end to the dictatorship in favor of democracy. Of their many missions, their main ones are to end the military ruling in Burma in order to strengthen the democratic party; to inform international media and citizens of Burma's current political and economic problems; and to promote international organizations that are trying to help Myanmar. Any one is welcome to join USCB or any of their counterparts; such as the Southeast Asia based ASEAN Network for Burma. Other people who might not want to join can help by making donations to support their cause. Funding will go to help fight for democracy and human rights in Myanmar; such as the right to have unrestricted Internet access. If their goal is achieved; many less fortunate people living in Myanmar will be able to use the Internet to find an education as well as communicate with the outside world once again.
